Wouldn’t it be wonderful if feminists were as outraged about forced
marriages, child brides, female genital mutilation and honour killings
as they are about a Prime Ministerial wink?
How much more useful would the movement be if it actually focused on
real cases of sexism and misogyny instead of obsessing about trivial or
imagined offences?
The same women who took to the streets of Melbourne in the ludicrous “Slutwalk” protests seem nonplussed about Australian girls being brutalised in the name of religion.
I’ve had more than one member of ‘the sisterhood’ tell me that the
barbaric practise of FGM is not that different to Western women opting
for labiaplasty. Seriously.
